Giving your customers a seamless buying experience starts with your sales team having the right tools at their disposal, especially in a system they’re so natively used to: Salesforce. As we continue to make enhancements to our Salesforce integration, we are excited to announce that we have added the ability to create quotes with versioning inside a subscription preview.

Over the past several weeks we have made several enhancements to our native Salesforce integration thanks to feedback from our customers! As many of you have seen, we added the ability to activate all subscriptions on an opportunity record, upgrade/downgrade subscriptions via opportunities, and also extended Calendar Billing from Chargify into Salesforce allowing for the utmost flexibility in the way you manage and sell your subscriptions. 

Today we are excited to announce a new development with our integration by adding in custom fields to the Subscription Wizard. When creating a new subscription, you can update and/or edit your custom fields to provide additional data that is vital to your business and beneficial for your end customer to see. These custom fields provide an extra layer of information, beyond what is already provided in your product catalog.

The way you bill your customers is essential to running your business. Many of our customers today take advantage of Chargify's built-in Calendar Billing functionality, allowing them to choose the specific day of the month their subscribers should be billed on, not the day they signed up for your product and/or service. For example, you may want all of your customers' subscriptions to renew on the first of the month. 

The goal with our CRM integrations is to mirror your Chargify environment as much as possible to provide your teams a seamless experience to sell and manage subscriptions. Because of this, we are excited to announce that we have extended Calendar Billing to our native Salesforce integration. When creating a Subscription via the Subscription Wizard, you can configure the subscription to be Calendar Billed on the specific day of the month you choose. 

For more information on how Calendar Billing works, see our documentation here>

We understand you require a winning combination of enterprise-grade security to protect your customers and proven reliability to keep your recurring billing running smoothly. Because of this, we are very excited to announce the latest development in 3DS 2 with our Bluesnap integration! 

3‑D Secure (3DS) is an advanced authentication solution implemented to reduce eCommerce fraud by verifying a cardholder’s identity in real time. Each of the major card brands has a 3‑D Secure offering. This will allow for a more seamless integration with merchants’ e-commerce customer experiences.

We launched our HubSpot integration (beta) a few weeks ago, creating a seamless experience for your customer-facing teams to manage prospects, create deals from your Chargify product catalog, and automatically activate new subscriptions. Today we are excited to announce support for multiple currencies in each HubSpot account.

When configuring your HubSpot account, you can now enable any HubSpot supported currency, mirroring your Chargify setup. Once configured each deal is configurable with any of the enabled currencies and currency conversion is handled per the configuration settings in Chargify. If you are interested in this integration, please email us at support@chargify.com or contact your Chargify Customer Success Manager.

Having a variety of flexible options when configuring your settings for your Salesforce integration is great and what's even better is being able to choose which ones you turn on/off. Because of this we are excited to announce our latest enhancement to the Salesforce integration, allowing you to enable an "Upgrade/Downgrade Oppty Amount Difference". 

Understanding not all of our customers manage their sales process the same, this new configuration setting will calculate the values on the opportunity based off the value of the original subscription to what it will be now (via upgrading or downgrading the subscription). There are 3 types of proration that will be available when upgrading/downgrading a subscription on an opportunity: 

• If “Preserve Period” is selected,  the normal next billing date will be respected;
• If “Include Trial” is selected, the new products trial will be included on the subscription;
• If “Include Initial” is selected, the setup fee will be included at the time of Upgrade/Downgrade

Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) Direct Debit is now available on Chargify’s integration with Stripe! 

Direct Debit is a commonly used payment method in Europe and many businesses are seeing great success when implementing this payment method for subscriptions and business invoices. Adding an additional payment method adds flexibility to your customers. 

Once you are ready, SEPA will allow you to take payment for your subscriptions in three easy steps:

1. Customer selects SEPA Direct Debit at checkout
2. Customer provides full name, IBAN, and authorizes mandate 
3. Customer gets notification that the payment is complete

Contact your Customer Success Manager or Chargify Support to enable this new payment method. You must have an active account to accept SEPA direct debit with Stripe. 

• Introduced Multi-Attribute Rating
• Invoice Template Updates 

We are excited to announce that our nextgen Hubspot integration is now in beta! Integrating Chargify and Hubspot seamlessly connects your CRM and subscription billing operations to streamline your revenue generation processes.

The integration synchronizes date bi-directionally, so your catalog, customer, subscriptions, and deal management records are always in sync. Users are able to use Hubspot as they do today with the added benefit of automatically creating subscriptions in Chargify. The line items for building deals in Hubspot are synchronized from the Chargify product catalog for easy use in deals, quotes, and winning new customers.

If you are interested in the integration, please email us at support@chargify.com or contact your Chargify Customer Success Manager.
